Lego Irregular Webcomics
On the last day of the year 2002, a webcomic, called Irregular Webcomic, photographically illustrated with Lego figures debuted on the Internet. Although it did not set an established frequency for its installments, the webcomic was able to pose updates everyday and has been one of the regular comics on the web. Aside from the strips on the Internet, extra Irregular Webcomic strips are also available every two weeks on the gaming magazine Pyramid.
Irregular Webcomic has a number of different themes with their own sets of characters and exclusive story arcs. However, like most popular comic franchises like Marvel and DC Comics, the themes in Irregular Webcomic also occasionally have crossovers. Some of the strips have side commentaries, including sometimes an explanation of the humor used in the story or further details about an obscure reference, or stories on how a comic was created.
Some of the most familiar themes that are featured in Irregular Webcomics are Harry Potter, Shakespeare, and Star Wars. With the Harry Potter theme, readers are able to see the Harry Potter characters in a different light, particularly the protagonist himself. With the Shakespeare theme, it showed how William Shakespeare would have lived if he had been born in modern times. According to Irregular Webcomics, the English playwright would have been a technical writer sidelining as a Harry Potter fanfic author and Nigerian internet moneymaking entrepreneur -which is a bit odd and funny at the same time. He would also be writing a novel version of The Lord of Rings movies. Finally, with the Star Wars theme, the comic creator was able to indicate a few of the conflicts and peculiarities in the universe of this dimension. This theme became a particularly controversial issue among Star Wars fans.
Irregular Webcomic has been popular among fans not only for having an intricate indexing method but also for having one of the most unique comic themes in the worldwide web.
